[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2146314, member: 6467"] I paid for an IR test with Medichecks. My surgery were helpful; they agreed for their phlebotomist to do the blood draw and then I sent the package off. One tip - get the blood drawn at the beginning of the week, so it doesn't get held up in the post over the weekend. My results showed IR with insulin production at the lower end of normal. However as I was in ketosis at the time a low level of insulin production is to be expected. I do wonder what result I might get if I hit the carbohydrates a few hours before the blood draw, just enough to maximise my insulin production. [/QUOTE]
